---++ Help on Preferences
* A preference setting is defined by:
=3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value=
Example:
* Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
* A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customization. Example:%BR%
* #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = %USERSWEB%.UnknownUser
* Preferences are used as [[%SYSTEMWEB%.TWikiVariables][TWikiVariables]] by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
* When you write variable =%WEBBGCOLOR%= , it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%=
* The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set =WEBCOPYRIGHT= before =WIKIWEBMASTER= since =%WEBCOPYRIGHT%= uses the =%WIKIWEBMASTER%= variable.
* You can introduce your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
